Radiohead protests Q

When is an honor not an honor? Ask Radiohead. The British rock band on Thursday was named “best act in the world today” for the third consecutive year by readers of Q magazine, England’s rough equivalent of Rolling Stone.

Members of the group, however, refused to attend the awards ceremony and sent a silent video in their place. The video showed the words “Radiohead are not talking to Q” across the bottom of the screen, in response to a Q review of the group labeling it “miserable.”
